No. It was communist.

The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not “socialists seeking communism.” When people say a country was/is “communist,” they mean it’s being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it’s achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.

The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

The Solar system has vast secrets and riches, all for us, and we don’t have to share, because it’s our system.

That is until we find the massive moon worms whose tunnels we tried to colonize. /s

Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask jewish people living in occupied Palestine

That’s a tiny minority sect of Jews in Israel, a majority of Jews in Israel support the existence of Israel, that’s why they’re there.

A majority of Jews in the U.S. and globally also support the existence of Israel.

Yes, and it has to be competitive to show their true capitalist spirit.

This should be our citizenship test.

The development for morrowind sounds like it was absolutely wild.

Can vouch for Viture being much more open source friendly, there’s a redditor making a plugin for the steamdeck to make it work far better with the Viture’s, and Viture has apparently given them access to some things that Xreal has refused.

Their openness is what won me over for them over other AR glasses. Not only are the willing to help what’s effectively a competing software developer, it’s also incredibly helpful when the product is so niche, don’t have to worry about a company going out of business and your device suddenly becoming a paper weight.

There’s a massive massive difference between how Biden’s administration has uses the security state vs how Trump tried to use it last time and will use it next time.

There’s literally no point to draw an equivalence between Trump and Biden than to diminish Trump’s fascism.

Okay but again as has been pointed out to you, that has no bearing on government contracted products like this, whether that’s code or rockets or anything else the government doesn’t want to just share with the entire world.

Why do you think software would be treated any differently?

Okay but that has no relevance at all to what the comment you were replying to was about. Companies contracted by the government and DOD specifically to create rockets are guaranteed to be covered by ITAR. Meaning open sourcing them would be impossible, regardless of the first amendment or anything else.

There’s a massive massive difference between the software for a DOD contracted rocket like SpaceX makes, and hobbyist rocketry.

While courts have ruled source code is first amendment protected. Your statement is still very very wrong. Just because it’s first amendment protected doesn’t mean it can’t be classified normally or made illegal to leak because of ITAR.

But go leak some of the source code from XKeyscore or a schematic of a pair of GPNVG if you’d like to test our code classification and ITAR systems.

Libertarian did use to be a synonym of anarchist.

Murray Rothbard ruined that.

This is just blatantly false, if an organization is committing crimes or doing something the government dislikes then the government will sanction it, like it has done with almost every Russian Oligarch’s business, or front businesses for terrorist groups.

I’m pretty sure the whole point of banning TikTok is that the government is alleging that TikTok has engaged/can be forced to engage in abusive or illegal practices.

Current amount of Genocide with a party in power that at least has some trying to stop it, vs, extra genocide, certainly feels like an either or situation.

Unless you were implying a third party could win.

Would you rather have the Trans genocide Trump is planning? The mass deportations? The military on the street crushing protests?
